WELCOME TO ROCK 'N' ROLL

elcome to Arizona! At the beginning of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series in 1998, we set out to create the next great race in the world. By pure luck, we created a themed event, and by pure luck, the face of the sport has changed. The sport of running has never been more inclusive of everybody’s aspirations as it is today. In 2018, we’re stepping up our game to deliver a best-in-class race experience for runners around the world. Whether you’re a loyal fan, new to the family or looking for reasons to convince your friends to join you… trust us, you won’t want to miss running with us in 2018.

hether you are running to lose weight, change your life, set a personal best, or raise massive amounts for charity, everyone is welcome on our roads. Thank you for being a part of the 15th running of this incredible event. Thank you to the Cities of Tempe, Phoenix, and Scottsdale, and all of its residents for the continued support, embracing road closures and waking up early to cheer on our runners. This is a race planned and produced by many hard working individuals who take great pride in every element of the participant experience. We hope you have the time of your life running through these cities and that you continue to make it a tradition with us for many years to come!

20+ SCIENTIFIC STUDIES SUPPORT THE BENEFITS OF RECOVERING AFTER STRENUOUS EXERCISE WITH THE HIGH-QUALITY PROTEIN AND NUTRIENTS FOUND IN CHOCOLATE MILK For four-time Triathlon World Champion MIRINDA “RINNY” CARFRAE, tough workouts are her full time job, training up to 35 hours per week. With numerous run course records, running is the backbone to her multi-sport training schedule. Long runs are a time to reset, reflect and focus on her goals. And since her teens, she has relied on chocolate milk to help her get back out for her next run.
OFFICIAL RECOVERY BEVERAGE
RINNY’S REASONS
TO RECOVER WITH CHOCOLATE MILK: 1. It is a natural source of high-quality protein to build lean muscle – ideal for endurance training. 2. It has the right mix of protein and carbs, scientifically shown to refuel exhausted muscles to help her give it her all in the next workout. 3. It provides fluids and electrolytes – like calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium – to rehydrate and help replenish critical nutrients lost in sweat.
Train like a champion. Recover with chocolate milk after a tough workout to get back out on the road, conquering your next goal. To learn more about the science behind the recovery benefits of lowfat chocolate milk log on to BuiltWithChocolateMilk.com.
